About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) within the Department of the Treasury is seeking to procure a Contact Angle Goniometer through Request for Quotation 2031ZA25Q00201. The specialized scientific instrument will calculate the surface energy of substrates by measuring liquid droplet contact angles on surfaces, with results supporting banknote production to reduce ink set-off and spoilage. The goniometer must include automated features such as liquid droplet dispensing, contact angle measurement, contour analysis, and surface energy calculation capabilities. Technical specifications require components including a base, light source, two cameras, sample stage, liquid dispensing unit, computer, and processing software. The government will evaluate proposals using the lowest evaluated price of technically acceptable proposals methodology, with quotes due by August 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET via email submission.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The solicitation includes Amendment 0001, which removed Section F.4 and revised both Section L.5 and the evaluation criteria in Section M. The contract structure includes a base year with four one-year option periods as a fixed-price arrangement. Performance will take place at the District Currency Facility in Washington, DC 20228. The government indicates potential for multiple awards depending on proposal quality and fund availability, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the opportunity description.
